imitation of the policy of the Democratic

seem, the leaders of his party here, approve
of his shameful 1,6671 affair; but the more
honest portioh of the'Know-Nothings despise

against the AMerican name—agalut their fel
low men, and against religion—they see the
dargerons tendency of the ; ardor, tuut the

to bring about a thorough organization, the

It is highly necessary for Oil Democracy oil
